@Chuck the RSM indicator, which originally comes from PowerX by Markus Heitkoetter, is suggested to have the inputs to RSI, MACD and Stoch used for the indicator to be certain values. Do you change any of these values for your trading? Any one tweaks these params? If not, I’m going to hide them from the settings window in an effort to minimize and organize the input parameters.

New Indicator: Buy the Dip
Check out our Buy the Dip indicator and see how it can help you find profitable swing trading ideas. Scanner, watchlist columns, and add-ons are included.
I have changed them, but ended up putting them back. If you feel that’s best I trust your judgment.
@Chuck I see that RSM MACD length and MACD_BB length are tied together, and set to 25. RSM MACD length default is 9. Also, the RSM Stoch K Period is set to 5 instead of 14.
If I change these, I will end up effecting the past performance. Are these intentional changes?
A little color to the difference. Bottom is new with RSM fixed, and top is the current version.
I am inclined to leave it as-is, but let me know what you guys think.

I feel the bottom would be the most profitable. It is a little late at times, but I use it more for conformation than entry.A little color to the difference. Bottom is new with RSM fixed, and top is the current version.

Ok, are we confirming that we are going to make RSM as intended vs the original max you had? I have not backtested much, so no opinion there.
Also notice the MACD histogram change.
As intended is probably better. Looking at it closely , MACD on the bottom actually looks like it depicts price action better. So I guess in my opinion the lower settings are better across the board.
Everyone, this is a beta version. There are good amount of changes and cleanup. Lets test it before making it an official version.

It loaded and execute well on my side. It shows up clear and I love being able to alternate between strategies. Tha MACD setting change appears to make more since. It would be awesome to choose BB crossing as a strategy that showed up in the P/L. Your work is amazing.
Earhian, did you copy all the code? Is it showing up as a red?
I put an end of code statement at the end of all of my renditions just because it’s common for people to not copy the last portion of the code and in the process have errors.

I trade Renko bars and this newer version seems to work really well with them. Can't say the same with candlesticks it looks like. Although it seems to get in and out of trades a little slower.
The Bataylor
Member
3-min candlesticks seem to come back with the best results.
I’ll check to see if there is any dependency that’s preventing it from not working.
I was thinking the same, but after we solidify strategies. We need to finalize a list of buy/sell strategies and I’ll revamp that section.
Is there any benefit to InSync? If not, we can remove to make is slimmer.
@The Bataylor, when you say it seems to get you in and out of trades a little slower. What portion of the indicator do you use as an entry and exit?
It does not appear to work on any indicies!
EaseOfMovement() is making it fail with indicies. I will need to remove InSync.
beta2 - removed InSync until we find a solution for indicies.
